Lua 5.1.2 Xcode Project

Lua is a light-weight embeddable scripting language often used to add scripting support to various games and applications. It has been used in several commercial games such as World of Warcraft, FarCry, MDK2, and many more.

The Lua source package is void of an Xcode project, or a way to output a Mac OS X framework. To remedy this void I have built an Xcode project that will output the following as universal binaries:

Lua Framework
Lua Static Library
Lua Interpreter
Lua Compiler

The archive below is the entire 5.1.2 lua source package from lua.org with the addition of the Xcode project. I ran the tests included in the source package and all went well, however if you happen to run across any issues or have any further recommendations please let me know.

About

My name is Justin Walsh. I am a recent graduate of the University of Advancing Technology, and majored in Software Engineering.

I am currently working with MegaDotNet on several software projects. These projects range from web applications using Ruby on Rails, to 3D Graphics Simulations developed in C++.

In my spare time I also work on Ogre3D, an open source graphics engine. I am currently the Macintosh Maintainer and my contributions include universal binary support, bundle-able frameworks for OS X, the Mac SDK, and integrating Cocoa and Carbon platform support into the Macintosh port of Ogre.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions, suggestions, or just want to say hello.

Awesome work, will check it out. Hopefully this will help me both with getting a framework and making frameworks for other useful libraries.

Does this xcodeproj work under Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) ?

Justin Walsh 11.06.07 / 12am

Joker,

Just built it under Leopard earlier today, worked like a charm.

Yeah it works but in the InterpreterWindow when i type my chunks , this happens :

pprriinntt((”"HHaalllloo”"))

Are you just talking about the interactive command line interpreter, or is this happening when using lua from your own applications? Code Sample?

I am not receiving anything of the sort, at least from interactive command line interpreter.

Yes, the interactive command line interpreter in Xcode !

My advise is to not run it through Xcode’s Console window. It looks as if the Xcode console window is instantly echoing back the input you type, causing your double character display. Fire up your terminal and run the application directly.

Thanks !

Truly awesome. I have been struggling with getting lua running on the Mac for a few days now.

Thanks a bunch!

Also, FYI… I just grabbed the project and plist files and dropped them into 5.1.3 and it went fine

Mark,

Awesome, I haven’t had the time to check out 5.1.3, thanks for the heads up.
